Engaging Parents and Including All Children in Early Learning
This documentation brief provides a snapshot of the pilot ECD Centers and the community services provided for respective communities
Highlights
Initiating new community-based services is challenging and requires a comprehensive approach, espe-cially when it comes to ensuring better child outcomes and bringing various sectors to work towards. UNICEF supported monitoring and documentation of the capacity of the ECD Centres to provide eq-uitable community-based family support services. Research into the Centres’ effectiveness within a wider mapping and assessment of existing social services helped to identify gaps between demand for such services and supply as well as deficiencies in quality stemming from a limited number of staff with required qualifications, difficulties in promoting multidisciplinary approaches, lack of trained social workers and information about the Centres.
